  And I said to tell the difference between slop and human indie devs…

  They’d have to start vetting games to tell.

  You said they don’t have to do that, you just think there’s a magical way to tell?

  What you’re saying just doesn’t make any sense. It’s like you didn’t even read the comment chain you replied to. I’m just reiterating what I’ve already said, and it’s probably going to help you understand just as much as the first time…

    I’m confused why you’re confused? Their position is just don’t vet the games. That’s what they’re saying. It doesn’t presume some “magical way to tell the difference”. You just don’t check the games.

    Now, this part is just my interpretation, but I believe they’re operating on a “caveat emptor” methodology. They shouldn’t let malware through obviously, but they might believe it’s on the purchaser to not buy games that look like slop.
